I bought a pack of gum and every time I felt the urge to bite my fingernails, I chew on gum. It helps a lot. My fingernails are starting to grow and hopefully when it does grow, I will no longer bite on them anymore.

How I did it: Go to the library and check out as many books as I can....Nothing to do over the summer so I went to the library more and started checking out books that I was interested in. I also did a lot of research online to find books that people recommended so I wouldn't be stuck reading a boring book. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ever since I came to Disneyland for the first time in 7th grade with my parents, I've always admired the people who were working there. I thought to myself that someday I would want to work at Disneyland too. Seven years later, I found a website that gave me the perfect opportunity to work for Disney. I joined the Disney College program in Disneyland, CA and now here I am on the first internship of my life.&nbs… Read how I did it…
I’ve been reading a lot lately. I just finished 6 books in the time span of 3 weeks and I’m feeling super great about it. It gives me a chance to escape and what da ya know, all of the books are great. 2 of the books I read was mandatory for my Lit. class so I HAD to read it but turns out in the end, I’m glad I did. It was 2 very interesting novels: “In the Pond” & “The Book of Chameleons” if anyone is interested. Also I just finished “The Lovely Bones” that I wrote an entry on before. Very good book and can’t wait til the movie comes out this December:-D
i plan to achieve this goal by of course, reading more. reading always expands my vocabulary. and what do ya know, reading more is also on my 43 things list. haha :-)
